ABOUT US
Rising Capital is a Singapore head-quartered ‘Digital Assets Management’ firm focussed on investing in diversified crypto strategies of brilliant founders in South East Asia & India.
Since 2013, we have built, operated and sold several crypto ventures before setting up ‘Rising’ to capture significant return asymmetries amid rising volatility. Our business is directed towards two important focal points - Rising Venture Studio and Rising Capital Fund.
As Rising Venture Studio, we promote the entrepreneur and the company building process. We know what it’s like to be in the founder’s shoes and support the ‘next big thing’ in crypto, metaverse or gaming with apt resources and network.
As the Rising Capital Fund, we invest in early-stage crypto companies across the NFT, Gaming and Metaverse Sectors, while keeping a portion of our portfolio in liquid assets. We strive to take a fundamental approach to identify unique investment opportunities in the emergent and evolving crypto asset class.
The Team
We bring a deep network across industries, experience serving entrepreneurs and rigor assessing disparate asset classes over decades to deliver superior results in our advisory and investment businesses.
